About The World's Worst Assistant

From Conan O’Brien’s longtime assistant, and cohost of his podcast Conan Needs a Friend, a completely hilarious and irreverent how-to guide for becoming a terrible, yet unfireable employee, and getting away with doing the bare minimum at work.

Sona Movsesian is Conan O’Brien’s assistant of twelve years. Conan and Sona have a wickedly funny and long running alter ego bit—Sona plays the lazy incompetent, Conan the insufferable and oppressive boss. Fans can’t seem to get enough of her hilariously relaxed attitude in response to Conan’s near manic energy. But Sona didn’t wake up one day and decide to become the World’s Worst Assistant. Achieving such greatness is a gradual process – one that starts with long hours and hard work long before it descends into sneaking low-dosage edibles into your lunch and napping on your boss’s couch.

Now, Sona is writing the perfect humor book for her many fans. Part satire based on these beloved alter egos, part memoir that evidences the sincere trust and respect that Conan and Sona have built over their twelve years working together, and populated with hysterical black-and- white illustrations, graphs and more, THE WORLD’S WORST ASSISTANT is completely irresistible fun you’ll want to give to every assistant in your life. In it, Sona will reveal all her trade secrets on how she became simultaneously terrible at her job (think Friends marathons at her desk), an unfireable employee (she has all of Conan’s credit card numbers committed to memory), and most importantly, an essential contributing member of the Team Coco humor machine.
